On Friday I had the opportunity to attend the first Asics Music Festival held in the Palau Sant Jordi Barcelona.
My surprise, upon entering, was immense. Time 18.05. The stage was located in the middle of Palau. The feeling was not very good and a lot of questions in my head: Few tickets sold? as will the acoustics? the fault of the little promotion that have given or there is another concert tomorrow?…while all these questions rambled all I could do was a laugh with my friends and drink beer for the modest price of 7 euros. Next to nothing.
With 45 minutes late, Palau and without people, appeared in the scene Cyan. Group still little known and people had little hesitation in them a contempt. Cyan featuring songs from their self-titled. Live not sound too bad and my seems to me that it is a group with projection. It's about time.
Some were too powerful speakers reflecting off the music and were excessively high, even to bother and not understood anything he sang, unless, clear, you knew the songs.
First break of 30 minutes. Next turn to Chambao. I must admit that while not my cup of tea, live, Chambao, sound great and the voice of Mari has a lot of play on stage and knows how to give that touch of sparkle, necessary at concerts trying not to lower the public.
Maybe I feel that all the songs sound very equal, as a continuous track never ends.
Second break. I do not remember because of the time. Some railings on stage the singer presage of Dover will go crazy at times. So, in the stage Dover begins his repertoire.
Discuss your singer, Amparo Llanos, petardilla is more than I expected and that look and dance to Madonna not favor much, mainly because it would first have to go to class and rhythmic body language.
They had a small technical problem that could finally solve Amparo while singing one of his favorite topics of madonna, a capella.
A proper concert, not much to write but to the delight of the public, including me.
Otherwise, and a personal, I like the musical change of Dover. I keep rocking and Dover with Dover Follow the city lights.
We dealt well with the third break and with the obligatory visit to the bar. On my return omelet sandwiches and waiting last night. It seems like Pet Shop Boys are in no hurry to appear on stage.
It has been 35 minutes. Now if, on stage at the Palau Sant Jordi, the last performance of the night. Pet Shop Boys thus closing the planning for this 12 October.
I think a long time did not use the word: Cool. That's my impression of the guys from the pet shop and its show in Barcelona.
I had read somewhere that Pet Shop Boys in Barcelona will present topics of Disco 4 and the truth is that I do not to an idea of the issues that could sound that night. I think with the first issues and my hopes were growing doubts were cleared.
Pet Shop Boys gave a recital of his best songs of all time, in style, as they know to do. Now if. Finally the Palau Sant Jordi vibrated as he deserved.
Neil Tennant y Chris Low desenfundaron its cascade of topics, to which best, to make the already depleted, lying on the ground or sitting on the stairs to their feet and no longer sit back to, to dance, singing and especially vote.
With a really good sound (was perhaps an effect of such a visit to the bar) and jabbering some Spanish, Neil Tennant, encouraged the evening. On stage were accompanied by 8 people at all times and you can see activity on stage.
Historical themes of his early albums with Bilingual, Fundamental issues, Relsease and so on stage playing the evergreen Go West (that made my hair stand on end), Always On My Mind, it’s a sin the Domino Dancing.
Cool. Steal the word because that is the impression that we have taken myself and my friends tonight for a concert we returned to other stages of our lives through memories, in a musical key and changing and colorful stage.
Lights are lit. time 01.20 am.
